I used to be on the purist bandwagon but then i rode one and thought, omg these things are terrible for a lot of the reasons everyone else mentions.I just read the MTBR review of the 2018 Trek Powerfly where it says Trek European MTB sales are 30% ebikes and they're selling them as fast as they make them, which surprised me. But then again it doesn't surprise me too much. I'm guessing that as the sport expands it's doing so downwards towards the lowest common denominator, where the price of entry (I mean amount of amount of effort, skill, fitness etc, not cash) to the sport is massively reduced. I can see parallels with ebikes and the explosion of bolts in rock climbing.
Back of Mt Dandy innit, overlooking Silvan?For the Vic folks, see if you know this place.
Yup. RJ hamer aboretum.Back of Mt Dandy innit, overlooking Silvan?
Whats the riding around there like now days? haven't been there since <2006 ish.Yup. RJ hamer aboretum.
I only did fire roads and a few of the really steep climbs on the ebike - we were basically trying to find them to test our bikes! It's way too sluggish for single track so I didn't do those tracks.Whats the riding around there like now days? haven't been there since <2006 ish.
Looks like Silvan in general is having some pretty positive progress.
Why guess when you can try for yourself? There's people that are actually fit and/or skilled buying ebikes, not just cashed up lazy fat, unskilled people. Why is there a stigma that you have to put all this effort and fitness in when you ride a bike anyway? Why can't I just have fun when I ride my bike?...

I'm not trying to stop anyone have fun, just commenting on the 30% eMTB and rising stat.Why can't I just have fun when I ride my bike?
Who said you were? I just gathered by your sarcasm that you THINK all ebikers are fat unskilled people that are breaking the mtb code of conduct by not putting in effort to maintain fitness (so they can climb hills).I'm not trying to stop anyone have fun...
I haven't said your are unskilled.....you THINK all ebikers are fat unskilled people that are breaking the mtb code of conduct
Are you trying to nitpick again? I'm trying to fire up these haters! I thought this was going to be so much more entertaining.I haven't said your are unskilled.....
